Old Dragon-Riding Fantasy Series (Most Certainly Young Adult)

I was reminded of a book series the other day and I cannot put my finger on it. Here are the details.

1. Evil Empire has taken over the world and is being fought by a series of young heroes who all ride dragons.

2. At some point, the young male hero ends up living with like...intelligent sea otters who play with these necklaces of rocks called 'worry stones'. Weirdly enough a google for "dragon rider otter" didn't get me anything.

3. Later in the series the young male hero is kidnapped and force fed drugs to make him weak, or something. Rather than helping him out, his dragon berates him for being too weak to resist.

4. I think there's a magical harp or lute or lyre or something involved.

    sounds a lot like Dragonriders of Pern, the little I remember from those books doesn't match your plot points exactly but apparently there's 23 novels in the series.

    I just checked that wiki and I'm almost certain it was not that series. No mention of intelligent sea otters which was absolutely a part of it.

    Eragon? Never read it, but it has teenage dragon riders.

    There were intelligent dolphins in Dragon Riders of Pern!

    I just googled and found something called Nightpool

    "Injured in battle with the Dark Raiders, sixteen-year-old Tebriel is healed by a colony of talking otters and sets out to fight the Dark and its forces of evil in the world of Tirror."
